ENROLLMENTS
COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE FUNDING SOURCES
State-supported enrollments: Courses funded through a combination of state appropriation and tuition are designated as
state-supported. The state portion covers about two-thirds (64 percent) of the cost of instruction, down from 75 percent five
years ago. When students, employers, or social service agencies pay tuition in state-supported courses, they are paying 36
percent of the cost of providing those courses.
Contract-funded enrollments: Courses in which no state-funds are used to cover costs of instruction are either contract- or
student-funded. The costs for contract-funded courses are paid by an enterprise such as an employer or social service agency
for the benefit of its employees or clients. There are several types of contracts:

Dual enrollment programs include Running Start, College in the High School and Alternative High School
programs. Dual enrollment programs accounted for 44 percent of the total contract-funded FTES in 2009-10.

Nine college districts offer contracted instruction for the Washington Department of Corrections at its major
correctional facilities. Students enroll in courses to increase literacy and gain occupational skills.

About 14 percent of contract FTES were from Contract International enrollments. Organizations contract with
colleges to provide instruction for international students. These organizations pay fees equal to full non-resident
tuition. One-third of the community and technical colleges offer contract international programs.

Colleges also contract with local businesses under the Job Skills Program (JSP) and the Customized Training
Program (CTP). Employee training is provided by the college and the costs are covered by a state grant in JSP. The
costs for CTP are first covered up front and then repaid in full by the business.
Student-funded enrollments: Enrollments, in which costs are paid entirely by the individuals who enroll, decreased by nearly
6 percent from last year offsetting last year’s increase. Student-funded courses include a wide variety of offerings and include:

Workforce training/upgrading courses such as microcomputer applications, information technology certification,
web design, flagger and traffic control, and business management.

Continuing education courses required for license renewal (e.g., real estate and health care).

Leisure courses such as foreign language for travelers, photography, and dance.
FACTORS IMPACTING ENROLLMENTS
Since 2008(the start of the recession), community and technical college fulltime equivalent and headcount enrollments have
increased 17 percent and 5 percent respectively. The recession has created unprecedented student demand for workforce
education. This demand is created by worker retraining and workforce education in general. Despite demographic shifts
that would suggest an easing up in transfer education over the next several years, this mission has also grown ahead of
population because of the affordable, quality education it provides. The need for basic skills instruction is also strong as
these students report the highest unemployment.
The ability of the colleges to grow enrollments is made more remarkable because their state support legislative funded
level was flat to begin the biennium and then cut a cumulative 15 percent during the biennium.
Colleges increased FTES in 2009 (by 8 percent) and again in 2010 (by an additional 9 percent). New admissions surged
in fall 2008, as the recession deepened. By fall 2009, it became apparent that more students were attending longer,
enrolling full time and taking higher credit loads, making it difficult for new students to enroll.
Headcount grew by 15,135 students or 5 percent between 2008 and 2010. However in 2009-10 headcount growth was just 1
percent, or 3,367 students with disparate growth in the three mission areas. Transfer and workforce increased 4 and 5
percent respectively. However, this growth was offset with the cutbacks in basic skills (-3 percent) that reversed 4 prior
years of solid growth. In addition students enrolled for home/family classes decreased by 17 percent.

COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE
STUDENT HEADCOUNT
Community and technical colleges enrolled 469,907
students in 2009-10, a slight decrease from the previous
year. The decrease was due to fewer students in student
support courses where the student pays the full cost.
One-third of a million (338,109) students enrolled in statesupported courses paid for by a combination of tuition and
state funds allocated directly to the college system. This is
an increase of 1 percent or 3,777 students from the prior
academic year. This modest increase in students was a
combination of large increases in workforce and transfer
students that were offset by cuts in basic skills and lifelong
learning classes (see page 10).

FTES BY STUDENT PURPOSE FOR ATTENDING
STATE SUPPORTED
State-supported FTES hit an all-time high in 2009-10 as
the system ended the year 16 percent over enrolled. Overenrollment is defined as the percent of state-supported FTES
that are above the college’s funded level.
FTES by Student Purpose
State Supported
FTES increased substantially for students enrolled for the
purpose of transferring to a university or for workforce education.
The reason most commonly identified for attending a community
or technical college is related to the workforce education mission
– to prepare for a new job or upgrade existing job skills.
Workforce

Basic
Skills

FTES generated by students attending for workforce education
increased by 9,279 FTES or 14 percent. Workforce students
generated 49 percent of all state FTES. This is the largest
percentage of workforce students the system has seen thus far.
Transf er
37%
The FTES generated by students enrolled with a transfer purpose
accounted for 37 percent of the total FTES and increased by
6,600 FTES or 6 percent.
The number of FTES generated for students who took courses with basic skills as their immediate goal decreased slightly this
year, by 97 FTE or less than 1 percent. Enrollments in home and family life also decreased as some colleges reduced effort in
this area because of budget cuts and student demand for some courses also declined due to the economy.

STUDENT HEADCOUNT BY PURPOSE FOR ATTENDING
STATE SUPPORTED
In 2009-10, 154,213 students (nearly 46 percent of all statesupported students) were enrolled for a workforce-related
purpose. The number of students enrolled in workforce
programs continue to increase due to the worsening economy
and increasing demand for worker retraining.
Headcount by Purpose for Attending
State Supported
In addition to students attending for workforce edcuation,
another 113,000 state-supported students were enrolled with the
goal of transferring to a four-year institution. The number of
transfer students increased by 5 percent in 2009-10 even though
the population of 18 through 24 year olds is increasing at a
slower rate than in past years.

While students in both the workforce and transfer mission areas
increased, students enrolled in the third mission area, basic
skills decreased. In 2009-10 there were 45,692 such students in
state-supported ABE, ESL, GED, or high school completion
classes. This was 3.3 percent less than the prior year and again
reversed several years of steady growth.
Transf er
34%
Another 23,000 students took basic skills classes, but enrolled for workforce training or transfer purposes. In addition, 2,550
students supported by state and federal funds are enrolled in basic skills instruction provided by community organizations.
However, these basic skills students accounted for in other missions also showed a 10% decrease.
The remaining 25,000, or 7 percent of all state-supported students, enrolled to develop parenting and consumer homemaking
skills, to prepare for retirement, or did not specify a goal when they enrolled. Going along with fewer course offerings in this
area, there was a 17 percent decrease in students from the prior year.

FTES BY COURSE INTENT
STATE SUPPORTED
There are four major course content areas; academic,
workforce, pre-college (developmental) and basic skills.
State-funded FTES grew substantially in each area except
Basic Skills. College-level FTES increased at a higher rate
than ever. Academic FTES grew by 11 percent while
Workforce FTES increased by 9 percent.
There are four major course content areas; academic,
workforce, pre-college (developmental) and basic skills.
State-funded FTES grew substantially in each area except
Basic Skills. College-level FTES increased at a higher rate
than ever witnessed previously. Academic FTES grew by
11 percent while Workforce FTES increased by 9 percent.
Still, Workforce course FTES increased more slowly than
Workforce student FTES as colleges faced increasing
difficulty keeping up with student demand for workforce
education.
Pre-college courses are those needed to prepare for college-level work, particularly math. Pre-college FTES also increased
dramatically by 1,815 FTES or 14 percent.
Basic Skills enrollments decreased by 630 FTES or 3 percent, thereby reversing four years of steady growth. Basic skills
includes English as a Second Language (ESL), Adult Basic Education, and two approaches to completing the equivalent of high
school – the diploma program for adults and courses in preparation for the GED test. While demand for basic skill instruction
is far greater than the FTES served, colleges are limited in their ability to respond to the need because of a funding gap created
by the lack of tuition for these courses.

CONTRACT FUNDED FTES BY COURSE INTENT
ACADEMIC YEAR 2005-06 TO 2009-10
Contract-funded FTES represented 17 percent of the total
effort in 2009-10. There are four distinct types of contracted
effort: high school dual enrollment programs such as
Running Start, Department of Corrections programs,
Contract International students and other contracted courses
with state agencies (for example, WorkFirst), business,
industry, and the military (see page 19).
Most Running Start students and many Contract
International students take academic courses. Consequently,
academic courses represent the largest program area for the
contract effort. The largest factor in contract workforce
growth was growth in the Job Skills Program. Contract
workforce courses increased due to growth in both employer
and WorkFirst contracts Basic Skills courses, especially
Adult Basic Education are important offerings at the
corrections sites. These courses decreased similar to the
decreases in state-supported basic skills programs, further
limiting serviced to this population.
